Best Route To The Game?

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – As part of a continuing effort to help expedite game vehicular traffic while protecting the safety of pedestrians, Razorback Athletics has partnered with the Fayetteville Police Department and the University of Arkansas Police Department (UAPD) to implement color coded pre-game and post-game traffic routes for Razorback Football games.

The changes are designed to help ease congestion in pre-game traffic while also clearing traffic from around the stadium in a more efficient manner following the game. The color coded routes are designed to provide the most efficient and direct route to and from the stadium for fans based on their parking locations, including preferred routes to access I-49. For convenience of Razorback fans, all parking passes issued by the Razorback Foundation will include the color of the route that is recommended for entry and exit from their designated parking lot.

Blue Route (Razorback Road and Cato Springs Road) – Based primarily west of the stadium on Razorback Road, the blue route will serve those in parking lots 46, 47N, 55, 56, 56B, 56D, 59, 60, 62, 72R and 73A, Meadow Street Parking Garage and The Gardens. The blue route includes entry from Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Razorback Road/Cato Springs Road. Post-game traffic will be routed exclusively to the Razorback Road/Cato Springs Road exit on I-49. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard is not an option post-game.

Orange Route (MLK and I-49) – The orange route is located to the south and west of Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium and services parking lots 1, 47W, 52, 57, 57B, 63, 74, 74A, 74B, 74C and FB. The route includes entry from Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard to Eastern Avenue and Razorback Road during pre-game traffic flow, while utilizing Eastern Avenue and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in post-game traffic flow. Razorback Road is not an option for post-game.

Purple Route (Sang Avenue and Wedington Avenue) – The purple route operates west and north of the stadium and is the recommended route for parking lots 29, 42, 43, 72 BMS, 73 and 76. Entry and exit are both conducted via Sang Avenue and Wedington to access I-49.

Red Route (US 71 / College Avenue) – The red route is the recommended option for almost every fan parking to the south and east of the stadium including parking lots 7, 8, 9,26, 31, 31N, 32, 33, 35, 35N, 36A, 38, 52, 62 and 71. For pre-game the route utilizes U.S. 71 (School Ave.) and College Avenue feeding into MLK and then to Stadium Drive. Post-game traffic is directed from Stadium Drive south to MLK and then East to College Avenue and U.S. 71 (School Ave.).

A reminder that free public parking is available for fans at Baum Stadium, located between MLK and 15th street, in both the Baum East and Baum West parking lots. A free shuttle service is provided beginning four hours prior to kickoff. The shuttle service provides trips back to Baum Stadium until all fans are returned to their vehicles after the conclusion of the game.

Fans should access both Baum Stadium lots via the blue route. Following the game, those in Baum East will use the red route while those in Baum West will be directed to the orange route. Please note, Razorback Road is not an option for post-game traffic from either of the Baum Stadium lots (East or West).

Pre-game and post-game traffic flows will continue to be monitored and adjustments will be made for future games if needed. Fans should consult the traffic flow maps to become familiar with the pre-game and post-game routes to their designated parking or public parking lots.
